Is Hogwarts Legacy Xbox Game Pass?

With Hogwarts Legacy releasing, gamers are wanting to get their hands on a copy by any means possible. One of those means is Xbox Game Pass. Will Hogwarts Legacy be on Xbox Game Pass anytime soon, especially after its recent release?

Not Likely

As of right now, there is no talk from Microsoft, WB Games, and Avalanche Software of putting Hogwarts Leagcy on Xbox Game Pass now or in the near future. Xbox Game Pass has put popular titles on the service before so don’t count Hogwarts Legacy out of the running. It’s just not happening anytime soon.

Hogwarts Legacy will be available for PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, PlayStation®4 Pro, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One consoles, Nintendo Switch, and PC. However, the release date is set for July 25, 2023, for Nintendo Switch users. For past-gen console users, the release date is set for April 4, 2023.
